Windows 10 whats new comapare to Windows 8.1 OS.1) Start Button strikes back
Probably the biggest complaint about Windows 8.x was the decision to ditch the familiar Start Button. Microsoft was so focused on introducing the world to its Live Tiles interface, it assumed users wouldn’t mind a Desktop with reduced functionality. The Start Menu will allow you to access apps, search for content as well as pin apps, contacts and websites into it.Windows 10 price

Microsoft was so keen to push the “touch-first” mantra with Window 8, the experience on traditional machines where keyboards and mice were the primary form of input suffered. This was addressed to some extent with the 8.1 update and the problem could now be solved with Windows 10.
If you’re working with a 2-in-1 hybrid like the Surface, you’ll be met with the standard desktop while the Type Cover keyboard is connected. However, when you detach the keyboard the OS will detect this and prompt you to switch over to tablet mode.8) Multiple desktops debut

Security and critical updates will continue to be pushed out on a monthly basis.12) Improved multitasking

How to install Windows 10: Clean installYou can’t clean install Windows 10 without going through the upgrade process above. That’s because you don’t have an product key as you do with Windows 7 or 8, so Windows 10 needs to activate automatically online after upgrading from an elibigle copy of Windows 7 or 8.1.
When Windows 10 is activated, Microsoft can identify your PC and associate it with an activated and valid Windows 10 licence. This means you can perform a clean install (even on a different hard drive, so it’s a good time to upgrade to an SSD if you have been running Windows on a traditional hard drive) and Windows 10 will activate without issue.
To check if Windows 10 has activated after upgrading, head to Control Panel > System and Security > System and look under Windows activation:

Only if you make “significant changes” to your PC will you have to call the Microsoft activation helpline.
To do a clean install, you’ll need to return to Step 2 in the walkthough above, using the tool you downloaded to create a bootable USB drive or DVD. Once that’s done, turn off your computer, install and / or remove any hard drives and SSDs you want to swap around and then boot from your USB or DVD.
If your PC won’t boot from it, head into the BIOS settings (typically press Delete, F1 or one of the other F keys just after you turn your computer on) and make sure removable drives, or the DVD drive is set as the first boot device, and not a hard drive. We can’t be specific about the menus and settings, since each BIOS is different.
